[Server-devel] pppd restarting mysteriously

[Joshua N Pritikin]

As I mentioned, I have a CDMA EVDO modem for Internet access. This works 
fine Ubuntu and Debian laptops. On the schoolserver, pppd restarts 
within a minute for no reason.

I looked at the options for wvdial and turned off anything suspicious. I 
don't think wvdial is implicated. It looks like something crazy with 
pppd. If I enable debug in /etc/ppp/options, will I see something extra 
in /var/log/messages?

I have this vague feeling that I've seen this kind of failure before, 
but I can't recall the details. Was it some Fedora feature---network 
manager related---that I need to turn off? I even tried searching for my 
name and EVDO in google, but didn't find anything.
